#5: God wants to draw you into a deeper relationship with Himself
God the Father's deepest desire for our lives is that we would experience a fulfilling relationship with Him. Jesus came to allow us the opportunity to live this life in all its fullness & the Spirit helps us to understand this more completely as He transforms our hearts & minds.
We're all attracted to "fast food" prayer. The type of asking that demands an immediate answer that may satisfy in that instant, but leaves a deeper thirst unquenched. But sometimes by holding back fast track blessings, God entices us to remain longer in His presence. Sometimes He considers our questioning & our wondering as more important than the relatively simple act of supplying us with an answer.
I'm not denying that this can be frustrating. But a delayed answer causes us to pray harder, search our souls more diligently and listen attentively to even the slightest whiff of a response from heaven. This is most evident in the lives of those Christians with the most intimate & energetic relationships with the Lord, who have more often than not wrestled & suffered through the silence of unanswered prayer.
I am not suggesting that God is sadistic, in fact the opposite. Sometimes He will deny us something so that He will draw us to the great Someone. And as we submit to this grand design (that is to love Him for who He is, not for the stuff He gives us), we find that either our requests change with an enhanced knowledge of His desires or that they are simply answered.
"The outer need kindles the inner and we find that the complete answer to prayer is the Answerer." P.T. Forsythe
(Thoughts developed from Pete Greig's "God on mute")

Oswego Veterinary Hospital is GREEN
Oswego Veterinary Hospital has gotten a bright new look with the retrofitting of low-energy fluorescent lighting. Every light fixture and bulb has been replaced inside and outside our building. This will save an estimated 32,312 kWh of electricity annually – about 50% of our annual electrical use! The new lights are also brighter, quieter, and safer than the old fixtures that they replaced.
In addition to the lighting project we also joined with Clackamas County to determine if we could recycle single use syringe cases and were delighted to hear we could keep such a large volume of plastic out of our landfills. We also recycle all appropriate glass, plastic and paper.
OVH also purchases recycled materials whenever possible, including copy paper, hand towels, toner cartridges and the use of bio- friendly eating utensils and doggy waste bags.
Oswego Veterinary Hospital is proud to have received the BRAG award from Clackamas County in June of 2008. The BRAG program is sponsored by Clackamas County Recycling and shows that we recycle regularly, reduce waste and are dedicated to buying recycled products whenever possible.

Title: To get you thinking
Date: 8/2/13
Ever wonder if you knew somebody that could answer your question(s)? Whether it be something about parenting, computers in general, computer applications (Excel/Access/Word, etc), camping, soccer, life in general, relationships, etc.
I go about life, it seems, answering people's questions. May seem strange (and a deep thought). Wait, my best friend used to call them "Deep Thoughts by Darren". Oh well!
Meanwhile, the point of this blog post is to get you thinking about the answers to your questions.
- Who do you reach out to?
- What do you ask?
- Where do you ask (phone/in person/text)?
- When do you ask?
- How do you go about asking?
- Why – obvious!
Not to sound too full of myself, but I have been called "the oracle", "the man behind the curtain", and "the go-to guy" at work (so I must know something, eh?). Funny! This does not work for soccer though, that's where I would bring in the expert. I do references too! If I don't know the answer myself, then I "wrack my brain" (or is it "rack my brain")- [you get the point] to "find" the person that may know.
This very well could be the entire premise of Myriad Of Ideas! Whereas, the purpose of Myriad Of Ideas is "to share ideas, knowledge, experiences and opinions with the hopes of spurring a respectful discussion". Ironic to say the least!
Look for the up and coming Google+ Hangouts that will help with a round-table discussion. I am also looking for your questions, so I can help answer them. If you wish to remain anonymous, that is ok too!
Have a great night!

What Are Steampunk Gadgets?
Steampunk Gadgets
Steampunk art has steadily become more popular over the years and the gadgets that you may have read about in your favorite steampunk novels are now getting to be more and more available as artists become inspired by this genre. Gadgets, machines, and devices imagined by Jules Verne and H.G. Wells have been recreated by steampunk enthusiasts while everyday items such as laptops and cell phones have been transformed into steampunk styled technology.
Modern Items Turned Steampunk
One of the most typical types of steampunk gadgets are common items steampunked into a fantastical reinvention. Such items may include laptops, cell phones, lamps, clocks, vehicles, or furniture. Really, nothing's safe once you inspire a steampunk enthusiast. Some items may be converted to the steampunk style because of their everyday functionality such as USB drives, keyboards, gaming systems, telephones, jewelry… the list goes on. Other items, such as guitars, motorcycles, or coffee makers may be refitted with brass, leather, and wood because of the significance they hold to an individual's passions or hobbies.
Recombobulated Steam-powered Doohickeys
Looking for steampunk items with a more whimsical design will lead you to the fantasy-driven, high-tech, turn-of-the-century whatchamacallits. You'll find everything from devices for communicating with the dead, to time machines, to doomsday devices. Some of these things may be inventions found in popular steampunk books while others will be born purely from the imagination of the artist. Of course, as a general rule, these state-of-the-art gadgets will be mostly non-functional and all those interesting knobs and levers will do nothing more that turn on a few flashy lights. Although, even without serving a practical purpose, gadgets such as these can quite often be the most interesting pieces.
In the steampunk world, springs and clockworks have earned their own category. Clock parts such as cogs, gears, hands, and dials have become so much more than simple timekeeping materials; their technology has been transformed to perform much more complex tasks. While steampunk has reimagined history with steam-driven technology, clockpunk focuses more on winding keys and springs as a source to power the machinery of that world. Gadgets inspired by this side of the steampunk genre will often contain much in the way of metallic cogs and gears and will boast many fine details.
Steampunk gadgets may come in all shapes and sizes and the idea of steam technology can be applied to pretty much anything your imagination can throw at you. Some gadgets will be as simple as a modified pocket watch while others may be as extravagant Paul St. George's Telectroscope art installation features in London and New York. The installation was said to visually link the two cities via a transatlantic tunnel while in reality two video cameras were used to create a virtual tunnel. While the piece can't be said to have used authentic steam technology the concept was no less grand and the exhibit is quite definitely one of the most amazing steampunk works of all time.

Wearing the wrong type of shoes to work or when working out will not only worsen the injury but also prevents the plantar fascia from healing. And so it is always important to go for work boots with a particular design for people with plantar fasciitis.
Work boots for plantar fasciitis are designed to offer more arch support. These shoes also ensure that the plantar fascia ligament and the heel, in general, maintain a natural alignment which is vital for healing and preventing the recurrence of the problem. Also, most will come with a special insert (orthotic) that helps to cushion the foot, alleviate pressure and minimize pain when walking/standing and a sturdy rubber sole for absorbing impact and compressions.
Some of these work boots will be podiatrist-designed to ensure that they offer your foot maximum comfort and support. The expert design ensures that they provide adequate arch support and they will also have a motion controlled design to correct over-pronation and supination. And so choosing suitable work boots for plantar fasciitis can also help to encourage proper walking and posture.

Factors That Determine The Best Work Boots For Plantar Fasciitis
The benefits that you get from choosing a good pair of plantar fasciitis work boots are almost unquantifiable. However, to enjoy these benefits and to ensure that you always have comfortable footwear for maximum productivity at your job or business you need to know how to pick the best work boots for plantar fasciitis. But, this should not be laborious as you only need to consider the following simple factors.
Arch Support
Arch support is vital for anyone suffering from plantar fasciitis, and so it should always be one of the key features/factors to consider when picking your work boots. A good boot should come with a firm heel counter that should also have a slight elevation. Sufficient arch support will minimize load on the Achilles tendon while also keeping the foot with a minor flex from the shin.
The Soles
Since you will be standing or walking a lot at work, you also need to check the boot soles. A simple rule is always to go for a boot with stiff soles that will not move even if you twist them on the ends. When it comes to the midsole, it is always important to go for one that is thick enough and has a soft material. A good midsole provides padding, cushioning and comfort to the foot and will also help in shock absorption when walking.
The outsole should be sturdy but not too hard, and so the best idea is always to go for rubber ones. It is always vital to remember that the outsole is what will be in contact with the surface when walking or standing and so it will absorb most of the pressure. Also, make sure that it is slip-resistant and suitable for use on different surfaces.
Although you can get work boots in various styles, it is always a good idea to go for those with a lace-up design. Lace-up work boots are adjustable to offer the feet support, and they are also less likely to allow your heel or foot to slip. These shoes provide additional support, and you can be confident that they will always keep your feet where you want them. And they also make it possible to adjust and customize the fit for maximum comfort.
Work boots with a contoured footbed are much better and more comfortable for individuals with plantar fasciitis than those with a flat one. Contoured footbeds will conform to your feet naturally. Also, they will take on the shape of a healthy foot which is helpful in aligning your foot and speeds up healing of the problematic ligament. Most will also supply sufficient cushioning to important parts of the foot and support your arch by minimizing strain on the ligament.
Orthotic Inserts
Orthotic inserts are one of the common remedies for plantar fasciitis. Having them in your footwear can help to relieve pressure on your foot and make the shoes more comfortable. Many work boots for plantar fasciitis will come with these inserts, but if your pair does not have them, it is a good idea to buy a pair. Apart from the benefits that they have for your problematic feet, these inserts can also help to alleviate knee and back pain which is just what you need for a comfortable and productive work day.

Users can even request criminal and other public records associated with an unknown phone number.
Whitepages, 411 and AnyWho can also be used to look up contact details for businesses, using either specific business names or general categories.

President Donald Trump will deliver his State of the Union address later tonight with a resurgent economy leading the way.

The President told advisers he wanted to strike a unifying tone.
According to reports, Trump practiced delivering the address from the Map Room on Monday.
Among the items Trump plans to bring up in his remarks: the trillion-dollar infrastructure plan, the sweeping tax cuts he signed into law late last year, and foreign policy matters. That will include remarks on North Korea, according to a person familiar with the situation.
Trump also plans to advocate for a possible immigration agreement that would allow some undocumented immigrations to remain in the country.

Dao De 道德 Virtue
The Wu De is the warrior code by which all true martial artists live by. It is the guiding principles that help shape the life of a martial artist. While many modern day businessmen will argue that this is a silly romance, for those who love the martial arts and love the principles it teaches and instills in them, this code becomes the rules. This is what separates the real warrior from an attention seeking bully. The real battles are fought within. The prize is not a trophy or medal or belt, the real prize peace, in every sense of the word.
The following article is an excerpt from the August 1992 issue of Inside Kung Fu Magazine…
"The World Kuoshu Championship has earned a reputation as the most violent and bloody martial arts event known to man. But with the years has come a mellowing in the traditional attitude, and with it a relaxing of the rules.

The development of kids, both mentally and physically, is of paramount importance to any parent. However, in today's technological advanced world, the lack of discipline and physical exercise and training, is contributing to a completely underdeveloped young person. It is not uncommon to find unfit, lazy, bad tempered, impatient children who dont seem to have any ambition other than playing with video games and cellular phones.
The Ten Laws of Kung -Fu are non-religious, and transcend all cultures and races, i.e. people of any culture and race would agree that they promote values that are worthy and desirable. Laws, in the Lo Han Kung – Fu tradition, are not meant to be punitive or restrictive, but as practical means to help students achieve set aims and objectives; in this case to help them attain the best possible results in practising Lo – Han Kung – fu for combat efficiency, joyful living, and mind expansion.
